==Mayhem at Peddler's bridge==

The plan was to pose as simple transportation workers with a cart of goats and get the goods in the quiet hours of Doskvol from the warehouse. A contact of '''Bazso's''' let them in and the rest was up to the crew. At the specified warehouse at the Docks, they easily managed to get past the single old watchman, and took the crate through the toll inspection as well, however not without attracting the attention of a handful of Red Sashes thugs (who were on the a lookout for any such activity). 

They tried to corner the gang in the winding alleys surrounding the harbor, but they managed to escape by running their leader down with the goat cart (but he managed to shoot through [[#Tocker_Vale|Tocker Vale's]] shoulder). Followed, by the rest of the thugs, the gang spurned the goat cart at breakneck speed towards Peddler's bridge (which connects the Docks to Crow’s Foot and Bazso Baz’s turf).

On the bridge the first stalls were being set up for a busy day at the market, and a Bluecoat patrol was checking all incoming traffic. With no time to waste, [[#Zamiro_Jayan|Zamiro]] staged a diversion, while [[#Tocker_Vale|Tocker]] spurned the goats to burst through on to the bridge. The bluecoats blocked the bridge, but through a flashback we learned that the plan was to drop the wares all along into the waiting gondola prepared by the [[#Others|Students]]. However, due to the Vassily's drug stupor, the gondola was running somewhat late. With the bluecoats closing in, [[#Tocker_Vale|Tocker]] pulled two pistols, took cover behind the cart and opened fire. He just managed to hold them off (downing two) until the boat arrived under the canal. The crate was lowered into the boat and both smugglers jumped after, making a quick escape through the familiar winding canals under Crow's Foot.

'''Downtime'''

The payoff consisted of 6 coins (2 for the additional sales from '''Bazso''') and a considerable gain in reputation, for both tangling with the Bluecoats and the Red Sashes. This of course also led to significant heat for the crew, after an operation that left the Peddler's bridge market in chaos, one member of the Red Sashes dead and two Bluecoats heavily injured. The Bluecoats promptly increased patrols in the area and  [[#Zamiro_Jayan|Zamiro]] was picked up (among other thugs) for some questioning and got roughed up in the process.

In between jobs, [[#Zamiro_Jayan|Zamiro]] met up with '''Bazso Baz''' and after some drinks asked him for recommendations for a surgeon (to treat the wounds of [[#Tocker_Vale|Tocker]]). '''Bazso''' was feeling particularly cheerful and had one of his thugs introduce them (with his personal recommendation) to '''Dr. Cawl Coleburn''', based in Six Towers, back alley surgeon used by his gang (''acquire asset''). [[#Tocker_Vale|Tocker]] visited the physician, who turned out to be a staunch supporter of Union and worker rights agendas. He explored novel electroplasmic treatments on [[#Tocker_Vale|Tocker's]] shoulder (''healing'').

After this, [[#Tocker_Vale|Tocker]] decided to meet up with his childhood friend '''Darmot''', who works for the bluecoats. He managed to get him to redirect the Bluecoat's inquiries (''reduce heat'') into the recent shooting on Peddler's bridge, but not without receiving one of '''Darmot's''' usual sermons about how he is headed down a dark path. Meanwhile, [[#Zamiro_Jayan|Zamiro]] decided to seek out his true love in high circles (''indulge vice''). He stole an invitation from a fine gentleman at the hotel he works at (though this raised some suspicions...) and sought his love among the guests of the party (without success).
